Dynamics of anemia in relation to parasitic infections, micronutrient status, and growing age in south-central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Background. Parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria and helminthiases) exert enormous burdens on public health and social wellbeing. Moreover, parasitic infections are important causes of anemia in tropical [...] include the distribution of long-lasting insecticidal nets, intermittent preventive treatment for malaria, regular anthelmintic drug administration, and improved intake of bioavailable iron, coupled with
Activity refinement of aryl amino acetamides that target the <em>P. falciparum</em> STAR-related lipid transfer 1 protein (Publications)
Malaria is a devastating disease that causes significant morbidity worldwide. The development of new antimalarial chemotypes is urgently needed because of the emergence of resistance to frontline therapies [...] a useful tool for further investigating the druggability of PfSTART1 across the lifecycle of the malaria parasite.
Longitudinal tracking and quantification of individual <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>clones in complex infections (Publications)
falciparum strains in multi-clonal infections is essential for investigating infection dynamics of malaria. The traditional genotyping techniques did not permit tracking changes in individual clone density [...] longitudinally by Amp-Seq despite MOI > 1, thus providing an additional parameter for investigating malaria infection dynamics. Amp-Seq based genotyping of longitudinal samples improves detection of minority
Do bednets including piperonyl butoxide offer additional protection against populations of<em> Anopheles gambiae s.l. </em>that are highly resistant... (Publications)
Malaria control is dependent on the use of longlasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) containing pyrethroids. A new generation of LLINs containing both pyrethroids and the synergist piperonyl butoxide (PBO) [...] (PBO) has been developed in response to increasing pyrethroid resistance in African malaria vectors, but questions remain about the performance of these nets in areas where levels of pyrethroid resistance
Mansonella perstans-Filariose nach Aufenthalt in Kamerun. 19-jährige Patientin, geboren in Kamerun, seit zehn Jahren in der Schweiz (Publications)
g pain in the lower abdomen, predominantly on the right side. A blood smear tested for presumed malaria showed subperiodic microfilariae of the species Mansonella perstans. The patient was treated with
Synthesis of antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes via photooxygenation of a chiral allylic alcohol (Publications)
series of monocyclic and spirobicyclic 1,2,4-trioxanes (5, 6). Two products show significant anti-Malaria activity against Plasmodium falciparum when compared with chloroquine
Bicyclic amido compounds with antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
tested for their activities against the causative organisms of East African trypanosomiasis and malaria tropica. The acylation induced in general loss of antiprotozoal activity, but a single compound showed
SARs of the antiprotozoal action of 6,7-diaryl-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ols (Publications)

As their name implies, neglected tropical diseases and infectious [...] expertise emerged as a game-changer. By collaborating with partners, including Novartis, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) and Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi), Swiss TPH played a vital role in [...] Importantly, three of the eight MDGs pertained to health, and MDG...
The effect of dose on the antimalarial efficacy of artemether-lumefantrine: a systematic review and pooled analysis of individual patient data (Publications)
therapy for malaria, although treatment failures occur in some regions. We investigated the effect of dosing strategy on efficacy in a pooled analysis from trials done in a wide range of malaria-endemic settings [...] dose of artemether-lumefantrine provides reliable efficacy in most patients with uncomplicated malaria. However, therapeutic efficacy was lowest in young children from Asia and young underweight children
